That said, the continuity isn't that good, anyway. When Belle is in the Castle it looks VERY cheery, despite the spell not being lifted. The Castle only looks forbidding and cursed when she first enters it, and when Gaston attacks. Mood changes with the plot, I guess. Or the castle is a giant mood ring for this living in it. Way too much deep BatB for this early in the morning,....

ORDDU: Yesterday--10/16/10--my sisters and I noticed that construction for the Fantasyland expansion is coming along quite quickly. One cast member we spoke with said they are 3 weeks ahead of schedule, as a matter of fact. The show building for the Little Mermaid attraction is up and just had its roof completed. Also, frame work for the Beauty & the Beast Restaurant is going up. It's very nice to see it all come together so fast.

How weird is it that new stuff at DCA excites me more and interests me more and even, somehow, seems more REAL and cohesive than something new at WDW?!? Have I swapped into a mirror universe?
